[jira] Reopened: (AXIS2-3396) docs & website repeatedly refer to
Eclipse Plugin; but never specify NAME or WHERE IT IS LOCATED.

Thomas Whitmore reopened AXIS2-3396:
------------------------------------
'Installation Instructions', need to specify plugin located in /docs/tools folder.
Your users cannot possibly find the thing, hidden two folders deep in an incorrect location. Is this not clear to understand?
Or put it in a /tools folder.
I checked the TOC and installation instructions, they still don't lead specifically to the plugin or specify where in the dist it's located,
How on earth do you expect your long-suffering users to even find the thing?
Jesus Christ, i pray for all the hundreds or thousands of wasted hours and repeated searches & reading of the quote 'installation instructions'.. which mention everything except, how to install it.

> It's impossible to find. And without specifying either NAME or LOCATION, there's nothing much to search for.
> Why not try using a NAME occasionally, when referring to things?
> I find that when talking about city-wide public transport, saying you caught the 'BUS' makes it vastly more clear what kind of timetables to search for.
> Also, the Eclipse Plugin -- this is referred to 4 or 5x, never it's NAME or LOCATION -- appears to be located in a .zip under /docs/tools; within the binary distribution at least. This ain't the correct place to put it, in the slightest.. though as you (insult deleted) probably travel to work by public hang-glider (humorous insult deleted) I'm not surprised.
> Try putting plugins & tooling, under (gasp) a 'tools' folder.
> Yeah I know.. it's hard working on this stuff, to keep an external 'outside user's' perspective. But try using names.. they really are useful, for cross-referencing and confirmation as well, even once the actual object or artefact in question has been specified. once.
> Cheers,
